When asked yesterday about whether Mel Karamazin would consider syndicating content back to terrestrial radio like XM Satellite Radio has done with Opie & Anthony show to CBS Radio - the SIRIUS CEO said:
"We’re in the business of getting subscribers to satellite radio. The more exclusive content we have that will drive them to subscribe to satellite radio – as compared to shared content – the better for the industry. We like exclusive content. Having that on satellite radio justifies the $12.95 purchase price."
Karmazin did however call XM's agreement with CBS, "a great deal for Opie & Anthony."
